			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1091" title="success" src="http://selfleadership.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/success.jpg" alt="success" width="146" height="240" />As a continuation of my previous blog post <a href="http://selfleadership.com/blog/topic/personal-development/permission-to-succeed/">Permission to Succeed</a> I wanted to share the story of a coaching client who was allowing a number of people, some                                    no longer living, to control what he was or                                    was not allowed to do. This man in his late                                    30&#8217;s did not have full permission to think for                                    himself, to really choose the life he wanted.                                    The anxiety this caused was seriously impeding                                    his success. </p>
<p>With self leadership coaching he came to the powerful                                    realisation that it his<em><strong> &#8216;Mind&#8217;</strong></em> his <em><strong>&#8216;Choices&#8217; </strong></em>and his <em><strong>&#8216;Life&#8217;</strong></em>. </p>
<p>If, like my client, you are lacking &#8216;permission&#8217; by taking ownership and responsibility                                    of your mind, your choices an your life puts you in the drivers                                    seat and enables you to create the personal                          or business success you want. </p>
<p>Confirmation                                    of this power to choose is the theme of the                                    final part of The Matrix movie trilogy. The character Neo is able                                    to triumph over Agent Smith when, after prompting                                    from The Oracle, he re-discovers his power of                                    choice. </p>
<p>Is                                    there an area in your life or career that you                                    have been saying &#8220;I have no choice&#8221;?                                    I wonder what would happen if you were to take                                    responsibility and say; &#8220;My mind, my choice,                                    my life!&#8221; </p>
<p>My coaching client did take control and left a low paying, menial job and started traveling; he settled in Vietnam where he started a business and met the love of his life.</p>
